INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Literally… the most beautiful cookbook I have ever seen. It is stunning.” —Drew Barrymore
Join actress, activist, and New York Times bestselling author Pamela Anderson on a deeply personal culinary journey that harmonizes style, compassion, and the pleasures of plant-based cooking—”a gift to all families” (Booklist)
In a career spanning fame and activism, Pamela Anderson has ventured from a humble upbringing to the forefront of Hollywood—and has always been a passionate cook and gardener. Now, she invites you into her kitchen to share 80 delicious recipes that nourish the soul.
This cookbook began as a box of recipe cards: a housewarming gift for her sons inspired by homegrown traditions and world travel. It grew to become her gift to you, showing how romantic, comforting, and indulgent it can be to cook only with vegetables.
At Pamela’s down-to-earth fairy kingdom on Vancouver Island, you’ll join her on the dock for chicory dandelion coffee and whipped cranberry porridge, for picnics in the forest with a green goddess mason jar salad and tomato galette, and at the dinner table for her anti-inflammatory lentil soup, minty pea-potato pierogis, and more.
She also shares her love affair with bread, from maple-glazed cinnamon rolls to rustic sourdough loaves and fougasse dipped in herby pistou, alongside insights into life, love, entertaining guests, and preserving nature’s bounty.

My favorite cookbook
I have a vast collection of cookbooks. I preordered this one and had high hopes for it and it’s surpassed all my expectations. Ms. Anderson is a true artist, a fantastic writer, and this cookbook exudes heart. Reading this work of art feels like someone is sharing their secret, sacred, treasured family recipes with you. It’s an intimate glimpse into the writer’s heart and mind. Ms. Anderson is a poet and an artist. Her cookbook is a beautiful gift to the world and a book I will share and recommend. It’s my favorite cookbook ever. Buy it if you love simple, beautiful, easy, everyday, unpretentious recipes and love whole food plant based eating. It makes me want to garden. Love.

So gorgeously giftable!!
This book was my 2024 holiday home run. I bought several copies as holiday gifts for friends, family members and associates. Every single person that received it, loved it. Beautiful photos, unique recipes, shared stories and a little something special on every page. I ended up keeping a copy for myself. If you enjoy books, even if you never make a single recipe, you’ll love this one.

This book! So beautiful!
I made Pam’s Moroccan Anti-Inflammatory Lentil Soup when I saw it on a website, which she shared in preparation of this cookbook being released. Winner! I’ve made it multiple times and it’s going down in history as one of my favorites. It makes a large batch that EVERY PERSON adores. There’s something comforting and filling and nourishing about it.So I buy this cookbook, intrigued, and it unexpectedly sweeps me away in its sweetness and indulgent simplicity. I have marked several things to cook, but even more unexpectedly I’m enjoying reading it and the tangible wonder it leaves with me. Who knew this sexpot of a woman was so wholesome, grounded and loving? It’s a treasure and I’ve already bought two more for holiday gifts. You will love this.

Stunning!
I’m not vegan but I have quite a collection of vegan and veg cookbooks as I do some meals vegan for myslef and add a lil chicken or fish for my family. I have recently been so inspired by Pamela Anderson and mostly bought this book as an act of solidarity for her. But let me tell you the book is stunning. Beautiful photogrpahs and her writing is poetic. On top of it all the recipes are gorgeous yet also accessible and I know I will be working my way through this book. I love you, Pamela Anderson! Keep shining bright!

Beautiful book but WHYYYYY is the text so TINY?
I love this book and it is beautiful. The recipes seem accessible and look delicious. I love the pictures and stories throughout. My ONE complaint is the teeny, tiny text on almost all of the non-recipe pages. The text on the recipes is still a bit small but at least in black font I can make them out. But the greyscale font, in a tiny size, on a beautiful picture background? It might as well be sanscrit. I’d have to hold the book in the next county over to make it out. Editors, I hope you reconsider some of the layout choices if you need to do more prints of this book.

I purchased this after attending a friends cookbook party. We all had to bring a dish from this book. We all really enjoyed the food. As a result, I wanted to make a few things for Xmas so I ended up buying. Easy, delicious, vegan recipes. (And yes if you need to you can swap with animal product, not that Pam And says to, I’m just saying….it works)

I have lots of cook books but this may be one of my favourites simply for the beauty that it holds. When your reading it, it seems like so much more then just a cook book. It truly is a labour of love and seeing that side of Pamela gives you a whole new understanding beyond baywatch and allows you to see her as a completely different person. The colour in pictures and print are so clear and beautiful. The outside cover also makes for a beautiful accent to have out in your home.

Pamela clearly poured her soul into this beautiful book. Every recipe I try is amazing! It was such a treat to pour through it. I can see myself coming back to it for some plant-based staples!
